Lady Bugs!?

[killfrenzi]

Ok I dont have a bug or mite problem yet, but if I were to encounter such a problem. I have heard that you can use LadyBugs to help rid the mite problem?

Has anyone heard of this?

yes lady bugs are predatory bugs, they will eat mites, aphids and abunch of other little boogers that try and eat your plant. you can also get praying mantis egss to hatch around your plants....they will basically eat the same thing.

i had some mantises(?) make my garden home back in brazil....

i think i have read they are best used before an infestation, because the Mites will reproduce faster than the ladies in red will eat them. So maintenance instead of treatment will be the best bet.

correct. they will eat other small insects but not harm your plant AT ALL.....its pretty awsome. as for where you can get them, try your local garden center. we sell both where i work.
